Oakhurst AYSO Soccer is currently made up of 5 divisions with kids ranging in age from 4-14 years old. The league is part of AYSO and subscribes to the AYSO philosophy of "Everyone Plays".
Each division is either COED (meaning boys and girls play together on the same team) or BOY/GIRL, meaning they play on a team of all girls or a team of all boys. This decision is made yearly based on enrollment.
Each child participating gets a brand new uniform, including socks, shorts, and shirt, a trophy and an end-of-season party in the spring. Our team jerseys and colors are country-themed, (e.g. Italy, Spain, Mexico, England, Ireland, etc.).
